Hello FIT Runners! I am a native Floridan and started running in 2015 when I decided to challenge myself to complete the Disney Coast to Coast half marathons. At that time, I thought I would join a run group just to learn how to train but I had no idea how much it would change my life. The group members and coaches provided instruction, support, and motivation that helped me to set and work toward my goals. But over the years, I have gained so much more than that. Since 2015, I have completed 15 half marathons and several 5k and 10ks. Along the way, I have made many friends and traveled many miles for races. I always try to encourage others and make it a fun time. I am known for coming up with run costumes and/or themed outfits. Being part of a run group and running in races has offered me many new experiences and a feeling of pride while sharing in our achievements. I am very excited for the upcoming season to see returning members and make new friends. I am looking forward to continuing my involvement with FIT and being part of the South Florida run community.
